Violent clashes erupted in Kinshasa during a rally against a proposed constitutional change. The opposition coalition C64 organized the protest, which police dispersed with tear gas after clashes outside Parliament. Congo faces Ebola and a broader conflict with the Rwanda-backed M23 rebels, while President Félix Tshisekedi has signaled openness to a potential third term via referendum. A National Assembly bill would allow amendments to presidential term limits in the event of major dysfunction, potentially following a referendum; opponents call the measure a threat to stability. Injured include Martin Fayulu, a prominent opposition figure, shown in a video with blood around the eyes.
